When you count those 1300 calories are you including any oil or butter you use when frying up those eggs? If you arent counting them you're calories are higher, and if you're not using any then you can get your calories higher. There are ways as Karen mentioned of getting more bang for your buck. Fats are calorie dense and carbless, and a little goes a long way.

I think you just need to be more patient. You did break that stall, the weight is coming off again. And while you may not techncially qualify as a yo-yo dieter things like fasting do effect your metabolism. With LC you are trying to convince your body that it is not going to be faced once again with the posibility of starvation or further restricted calories; it might take some time for it to accept and adjust. But if you are determined to keep the weight off this time then this WOE must become a WOL.. and if it is a WOL for you then the weight coming off (albeit slowly) is icing on the cake, to use a high carb metaphore. Don't you feel better LCing? Why give up when you know this can work for you.

Hang in there, Tikiberri.
